Yesterday we were investigating marine volcanism via underwater fumaroles, and today we’re exploring the terrestrial side of Dominica! Scott Brame, a professor at Clemson University, took us to some of the most interesting geological features this volcanic island has to offer.

One of the more unique environments in Dominica are the marine fumeroles (underwater gas seeps) that occur mere steps from the beach. There are a few locations on the island that display this phenomenon; one of which is the appropriately-named Champagne Beach.

Welcome to Dominica, the Nature Island! Located in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean Sea, Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic) is a tropical island with nine active volcanic centers and is a great place to study geology.

We also will be having pizza and discussing the plans for the Graves Mountain trip, Saturday, April 29! If you haven't been to Graves Mountain its worth a shot to find some awesome minerals! The mine is only open two weekends a year so this is your chance! Fill out this poll if you're interested in going!

Otherwise, good luck on finals!!!

Let us know if you can make it to the trip! It is not this weekend but next Saturday, April 29th. You need to be a geology club member to go, which means having to pay the dues (10$). We are trying to get a head count to arrange a van there!
